Question

Line segment LM is dilated to create L'M' using point Q as the center of dilation and a scale factor of 2.

What is the length of segment QM'?

Answer 1

6 units

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 6 units

Explanation:

Given: Line segment LM is dilated to create L'M' using point Q as the center of dilation and a scale factor of 2.

Since in dilation , to calculate the distance of a point on image from center point we need to multiply scale factor to the distance of corresponding point on pre-image from center point .

Thus we have,

`QM'=2* QM\\\\\Rightarrow QM'=2*3\\\\\Rightarrow QM'=6`

Hence, the length of segment QM' = 6 units.
